Two storied NFL franchises tangle up on Monday Night Football this week, with the Cowboys hosting the Chicago Bears looking for a second straight victory.

Dallas has been up-and-down so far this season.

The Cowboys opened the season with an impressive 24-17 win over the New York Giants, but then were dismantled 27-7 by the Seattle Seahawks in Week 2.

They rebounded last weekend, though it was definitely a struggle in that 16-10 win over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

In a home opener that was mired by penalties (23 for a total of 174 yards), the Cowboys won thanks to a suffocating defense that held Josh Freeman and the Bucs to 166 yards of total offense. DeMarcus Ware had two sacks, Orie Lemon had a fumble recovery and Sean Lee had an interception.

Other than those defensive highlights, there wasn’t that much to celebrate. DeMarco Murray, despite getting into the endzone with an 11-yard run, finished with 38 yards on 18 carries, an average of 2.1 YPC.

Romo struggled to finish off drives and ended up 25-of-29 for 283 yards and an interception. His favorite target on the night was Miles Austin, who had five catches for 107 yards.
